Nokia Lumia tablet concept is a giant Lumia phone, much like the iPad is a giant iPhone

Here’s a neat but not so little concept - this imagined Nokia Lumia Windows Phone-inspired tablet looks just like a big Nokia WP device. But if you thought that wasn’t very inspiring - does it really have to be?

The iPad was initially mocked for being nothing but a huge iPhone, but its sales have proved this to be pretty insignificant for the user. The design language used in the Lumia lineup also seems pretty good and if Nokia can indeed make huge unibody polycarbonate cases for tablets, many might love the idea.

Here are the specs of the imagined tablet, courtesy of a reader of the MyNokiaBlog:

- 1.4GHz CPU,

- 512MB RAM,

- 16/32/64GB of storage,

- 9.7” AMOLED ClearBlack display with a resolution of 1280×800

- 8MP rear camera, 2MP front facing camera,

- Windows 8-based tablet,

- Wi-Fi/3G connectivity.

How would you like that? Do you think that a Nokia Windows 8 tablet can make a splash?

Well..since its not mentioned which cpu it is...I hope its from intel's latest atom series...in tests single core atom proved better than dual for arm based cpu...so if this tab is coming with atom...i won't mind buying it.

That test that you are referencing was also done while the Atom CPU was clocked at 3x the voltage of the ARM cpu. It wont be that strong in real life, as the battery life would be worse than a crapdragon with that much voltage. Like a few hrs at best. The real tests wont be seen until they lower the voltage and power to something more realistic for portable use.

All boils down to the apps. If they can cover the apps wanted, it's a great concept. While the apps are growing in Marketplace, there are still gaps (I have a WP7 phone). The ability to handle all the business needs (Office, SharePoint, etc) and have the consumer apps would make it a winner.

512 mb of ram on a device coming out at the end of 2012... I mean say what you want about the efficiency of windows mobile, but cell phones have had 512 mb of ram since the end of 2009. I suppose that won't matter to the mass market but seems a bit weak to me and to others on this site.

Even though Nokia is loosing market share in recent years we can not say that it disappear from mobile market. They disparately need a good capable leader and a OS platform. I do not know Mr. Elop & Windows can full fill this. We will wait and see.

I think that the screen shape would also be different. Nokias (and WP7 for that matter) are natively "widescreen", so it'd be less square-shaped than the concept illustration above, and less ipad-like. Just my $0.02

I personally think the design is more elegant than the iPad's but I also think the specs for a W8 tablet is on the weak side. But then again, as I surprisingly discovered with my recently-acquired WP7 device, maybe the OS would run great on those less powerful specs.
